Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for pearl vintage-inspired engagement jewelry is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Lustrous fine freshwater cultured pearls from the lakes of China have a classic porcelain white color with rose overtones. Pearl is June's birthstone and the 3rd and 30th anniversary gem. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Ji Hwang, Gary Stucchi, Danielle Meshorer, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Love vintage jewelry but can't find the perfect antique piece? Gemvara's vintage-inspired designs are made to fit you, with the style and craftsmanship you love. Clean pearl vintage-inspired engagement jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality pearl vintage-inspired engagement jewelry are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

The most elegant of all the gemstones, pearls represent many virtues. A metaphor for perfection and purity, pearls are a common gift for brides. Ancient Chinese legend has it that the moon holds the power to create pearls, instilling them with its celestial glow and mystery. Pearls are organic and form naturally when a pearl farmer inserts a shell bead into a mollusk. Natural color cultured pearls are much more valuable than dyed pearls, which often look too vibrant or harsh to be formed in nature. Gemvara does not sell any dyed pearls. The quality of a cultured pearl is judged by luster, the reflectivity and shine of the surface, as well as the orient, which is the soft iridescence caused by the refraction of light by the layers of nacre. It is also judged by flaws or spots in the nacre: the best pearls have an even smooth texture. Other factors that affect the value of pearls are the regularity of the shape, size, and color. Pearl is the June birthstone and the gem of the 3rd and 30th anniversary. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality pearl will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine pearl jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
